Now in its 18th year visitors will be able to see semi-precious jewellery from Berkshire, handmade candles and painted silk from Somerset, porcelain dolls from Hampshire, mohair knitwear from South Wales and landscape photography from Wiltshire.
South Devon craftworkers exhibiting at the fair include jeweller Jo Allen and knitter and needleworker Brenda Rudd, both from Kingsteignton, Carole Poole with her floral craft, glass engraver Liz Foster, fabric crafter Christiane Kunst, artist Mark Denman and jeweller Giselle Bratcher from Paignton.
One of the highlights of the fair is expected to be the work of Alison Thomas from Carmarthenshire.
Operating one of the few remaining woollen mills in Wales, Alison produces high quality goods using fibres from rare breeds; products include clothing, bedspreads, baby blankets and travel rugs. Alison also takes commissions for one-off pieces.
Ken and Sharon McDiarmid from Exeter will be exhibiting their floral photography and cards, the sale of which help to support an orphanage in Sharon's home country of India.
The fair is open from 10am.
